Bats around the lake

[ghfromaltonbay]

One summer night a group of us were sitting outside our neighbor's camp @ Sandy Point under a large tree and, as usual, the bats were swooping down around the water's edge. A few of the bats came directly overhead when suddenly a large white flash startled us. An owl had been sitting in the tree directly over us, and when a bat came too close he swooped down and got his dinner. The owl was within 2 feet of our neighbor's head when he made the catch. We never heard him coming, but boy did we all jump!
